Live at Glasslands: High Highs

 We'd need an assortment of about 45 Hallmark cards to profess our love about this band, so instead of feeding the corporate haiku giant, we're just going to give you some radaroonie videos Donald shot when the band played Glasslands two weeks ago.

These came out perfectiously (that's perfect and deliciously, add it to your Websters now), and with these dudes, we truly can't get enough. Enjoy their new gem, "Phone Call", and our ye olde favorite, "Flowers Bloom". If you end up drooling at the photos, too, can't blame you. They're a precious bunch.

Couch Session: High Highs

Couch Session #31: High Highs

So many carbs, piled all around,
bagels with toppings from all parts of town.
Three sessions shot in one day,
meant later that evening, we easily hit the hay.
Between all of the craziness, we found one thing to not be like the others,
namely the photo, up there, which is now quite a bother.
Every other session, we remember it all,
feed the band, shoot them, then take a photo against the wall.
But for this one, for some reason, it fell out of our brains,
we fed them and shot them, and the rest felt the same.
But here we are, no photo to be had,
An integral piece to the puzzle for the band.
It's strange, because this one wound up a bit different too —
the lighting near-absurdist, the sun setting in tune.
The boys almost look like they're black and white,
a crazy effect that makes these videos such a delight.
I could listen to their songs the whole live long day,
as this Flowers Bloom video may or may not be on constant replay.
But with this band, it's more than just three captured songs,
Or bopping around your bedroom, watching while singing along.
They're a part of our showcase, the last slice of our pie,
pumping the jams next Friday out into the Austin sky.
We couldn't be happier to bring you High Highs today and next week,
so watch and listen along, but try your best not to shriek:
